I Have This Sense That I Didn't

My Dad Took Me To All The Best Rock And Punk Shows When I Was Growing Up And Music Has Always Been A Part Of My Life. So I'm Very Interested In The Music Scene And I Suppose That's Why I've Ended Up Going Out With Musicians. Dave Pirner Is Still One Of My Best Friends.

If You're A Musician, You Can Practice Your Guitar Every Day And Write Songs, But When You're An Actor, You Can't Just Like Burst Into A Monologue. Your Only Exercise Is When You're In Prep Or You're Working.

I Was Mid-sentence When The Casting Director Said, "listen, Kid. You Should Not Be An Actress. You Are Not Pretty Enough. You Should Go Back To Wherever You Came From And You Should Go To School. You Don't Have It." She Was Very Blunt - I Honestly Think That She Thought She Was Doing Me A Favor.

As An Actress, You Go Where The Stories Are. I Don't Really Care Where It's Seen, At This Point. I Just Want To Tell Good Stories And Do Good Roles That I Haven't Done Before.

In The '80s, I Loved The Movies Of The '70s. Also I Remember Loving Klute [1971]. I Loved Jane Fonda. Actually, I Auditioned For The Last Movie She Made Before She Retired For A While, Stanley And Iris [1990], Which Martha Plimpton Got.
